Edwards, 27, worked out with the San Francisco 49ers on Dec. 3 and then the Seahawks on Dec. 24. As Florio points out, the Seahawks and Falcons could meet in the Divisional round of the playoffs, so Seattle could see Edwards as a source of inside information in the potential match up against his former team.

The Falcons opted to cut him from the team after nine tackles and no sacks through nine games this season.
